System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

In the imperial edict, Gongsun Zan was conferred the title of General Anbei and Marquis of Ji.

This official position and title made Gongsun Zan extremely ecstatic!

First of all, there is General Anbei. This position is tailor-made for him.

He had a very bad relationship with Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and as a prefect, he was constrained by Liu Yu in every way.

Now that he has become General Anbei, he can legitimately expand his troops.

As for the Marquis of Ji.

You will understand if you look at where the government of Youzhou is.

Now even your seat of government has become my fiefdom.

Let’s see if you, Liu Yu, dare to speak to me loudly in the future.

However, after the joy, Gongsun Zan became alert again.

"I don't know why the court bestowed such an honor upon me."

Gongsun Zan had a faint smile on his face, and his tone was not as tough as before.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Dong Zhuo was not a good guy. He offered such good benefits right away. Gongsun Zan didn't think that the other party had any good intentions.

"Haha, my lord."

"I heard that there are many disagreements between you and Yuan Benchu."

"Coincidentally, the Prime Minister and the Yuan family also have a deep hatred."

"The Prime Minister does not want Yuan Shao to take control of Jizhou."

Liu Ai stroked his beard and said cryptically.

Hearing Liu Ai's answer, Gongsun Zan was overjoyed.

If he doesn't want Yuan Shao to take control of Jizhou, then the subtext is that he wants Gongsun Zan to be the governor of Jizhou, right?

Wonderful!

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed.

"To be honest, I have fought against Yuan Shao several times."

"Unfortunately, both sides have won and lost, and neither can do anything to the other."

Gongsun Zan sighed and said with an embarrassed look on his face.

He already understood that Dong Zhuo was worried that Yuan Shao would continue to grow stronger in Hebei and pose a threat to Dong Zhuo in the future.

Dong Zhuo killed the entire Yuan family. There was no way Yuan Shao would ever reconcile with this deep blood feud.

What Gongsun Zan wanted was to take advantage of the situation, drag Dong Zhuo into the situation, and make him join forces with him to destroy Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zan understood that it would be difficult to defeat Yuan Shao on his own.

"Don't worry, my lord."

"The Prime Minister is very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's actions, so he is willing to send troops to support you and attack Yuan Shao together."

"Your Excellency can rest assured. Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Jizhou. We are naturally unable to compete with you."

"What the Prime Minister wants is not to see Yuan Shao continue to grow stronger."

Liu Ai understood Gongsun Zan's thoughts very clearly, and everything he said was to reassure Gongsun Zan.

And the effect is obvious.

After being comforted by Liu Ai, Gongsun Zan did not worry that Dong Zhuo would interfere later.

Just as the other party said.

Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence was in Chang'an, more than a thousand miles away from Jizhou.

"Sir, please go back and tell the Prime Minister that I will do my utmost to wipe out the Yuan thief."

"I also hope that the Prime Minister can send troops to contain Yuan's forces. This way, our chances of victory can be increased by 30%."

Gongsun Zan cupped his hands and spoke seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Ai felt even less accomplished in fooling Gongsun Zan.

Too stupid.

Stupid and crazy.

From the other party's words, Liu Ai could feel Gongsun Zan's contempt for the Dong family.

With the help of the Dong family, our chances of winning increased by 30%.

"Please rest assured, my lord. The Prime Minister has already stationed troops in Luoyang. As soon as you declare war on Yuan Shao, the imperial army will immediately march out of Hulao Pass and head north to threaten Jizhou."

Liu Ai bowed and replied.

Gongsun Zan had no doubts about Dong Zhuo sending troops to Luoyang.

Luoyang has become a ruin, and it is extremely difficult to rebuild it.

Even if Dong Zhuo retook Luoyang, he would not be able to threaten him.

"Very good, very good!"

Gongsun Zan stroked his beard, very satisfied with the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Dong family.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent benefits.

Gongsun Zan did not have much hatred with Dong Zhuo. Now that he had gained benefits and advantages, he naturally would not be hostile to the Dong family anymore.

After achieving his goal, Liu Ai was not in a hurry to leave.

Gongsun Zan was even more happy to deepen his relationship with Liu Ai and at the same time find out more about her past.
